 +
*Sugar IRC-10 in RPi "B" 512 on rpfr-f18-rc1 (arm) and rpfr-17-xfce-r2 use IP6 ...all my other devices use IP4
 +
...
 +
In general newer versions of Fedora will try and autodiscover IPv6 networks.
 +
If it finds one with a non-local (not fe80::) IP address it will get on it, and used the IPv6 routers spotted if present
 +
Given a DNS name with both IPv4 & v6 addresses set, it's mostly up to the application to see if asks the OS to do v4, v6,
 +
or just generically whichever the OS thinks makes the most sense

*'''RECOMMENDED'''

*http://scotland.proximity.on.ca/raspberrypi/test-releases/rpfr17/
 +
Changes in this release:
 +
 +
- Image resize/swap space creation is now more reliable (note, however,
 +
that it will take several minutes after the firstboot setup before the
 +
resize/swap takes effect - the system may be used during this time). I
 +
think we've probably nailed the last of the significant
 +
firstboot/resize/swap issues.
 +
 +
- The image is now 1.852G in size and will fit a 2GB card (4GB or larger
 +
card is recommended to allow plenty of space for data/extra
 +
software/swap). The download is 665MB.
 +
 +
Next week we'll start performance tests with armv6 rebuilds (sfp & hfp)
 +
and continue work on image size reduction and boot cutdown.

This is called the "pisces" image as that is what Mike's Raspberry Pi system is named on his LAN.

This image is a little newer and includes a more complete installation of Raspbian and LXDE than the more minimal Hexxeh image.

This image was created using the Debian installer so it reflects a minimal Debian installation with the LXDE packages added for a desktop."

−
Without a working browser, we can use the host browser, midori, and pcmanfm unzip tool.
 
−
 
−
Select a new Activity from ASLO, http://activities.sugarlabs.org//en-US/sugar/ . (Packages selected to run in Sugar 0.94.1 can be identified in ASLO, using "Advanced Search"). Using Midori, download chosen Activities to, say, ~/downloads. Open ~/downloads with pcmanfm, select the NewActivity.xo, right click, chose extract to, enter ~/Activities, press Save. The Activity will unzip ready to use. You can check in ~/Activities that you have NewActivity.activity

Write to SD card

Detailed options for writing SD card.
  • Unzip rpfr-f18-rc1.zip

dd write SD

  • Using an SD adapter in a USB socket:

  • /dev/sd(x) or /dev/mmcblk(x)
Use command "mount" in terminal to get correct device name eg: /dev/sdb /dev/sdc /dev/sdd etc.
  • If you are using a SD slot, you may see /dev/mmcblk(x)
# dd if=rpfr-f18-final.img of=/dev/mmcblk0

6144000+0 records out
3145728000 bytes (3.1 GB) copied, 1001.65 s, 3.1 MB/s
  • CAUTION the device name has to be correct or you can damage your computers drives with no warning.

Insert SD Card

  • Insert SD in RPi and plug in the power supply mini usb
Unplug this mini usb to shutdown RPi
  • Connections

  • Note this takes several minutes to do reach the first boot.
Be Patient
  • Firstboot

Sugar

  • Build: Fedora remix release 18 (Raspberrypi Fedora Remix)
  • Sugar: 0.98.2

Create and read wiki-page.pdf files in LDXE and Sugar

  • You can Create wiki-page.pdf files in LDXE using the RPi to load on a USB for access in sugar-read :
See: Tutorials/Tutorials.iso
Browser in LDXE can print Wiki pages to a .pdf file
yum install evince
evince is added so .pdf files can be read in LDXE
Read in sugar already can open the .pdf files on a 2nd USB
  • Evince reading Tutorials USB on LDXE Desktop

Introduction to the sugar Interface

  • A tutorial to introduce the sugar-desktop to new users

Duplicating a RPi SD Card

  • Duplicate a working SD Card

Notes

...
In general newer versions of Fedora will try and autodiscover IPv6 networks.
If it finds one with a non-local (not fe80::) IP address it will get on it, and used the IPv6 routers spotted if present
Given a DNS name with both IPv4 & v6 addresses set, it's mostly up to the application to see if asks the OS to do v4, v6,
or just generically whichever the OS thinks makes the most sense

Fedora.jpg Test report raspberrypi-fedora-remix-17-test-004.img

Changes in this release:

- Image resize/swap space creation is now more reliable (note, however,
that it will take several minutes after the firstboot setup before the
resize/swap takes effect - the system may be used during this time). I
think we've probably nailed the last of the significant
firstboot/resize/swap issues.

- The image is now 1.852G in size and will fit a 2GB card (4GB or larger
card is recommended to allow plenty of space for data/extra
software/swap). The download is 665MB.

Next week we'll start performance tests with armv6 rebuilds (sfp & hfp)
and continue work on image size reduction and boot cutdown.

"Mike Thompson has produced a publicly available SD image of Raspbian that is bootable on Raspberry Pi hardware.
This is called the "pisces" image as that is what Mike's Raspberry Pi system is named on his LAN.
This image is a little newer and includes a more complete installation of Raspbian and LXDE than the more minimal Hexxeh image.
This image was created using the Debian installer so it reflects a minimal Debian installation with the LXDE packages added for a desktop."
